Chapter 198: Chapter 118: Luo Changfeng: I’m Somewhat Displeased with the Jiang Family

“””

“Oh?”

“The people from the Jiang Family have arrived?”

Luo Changfeng’s eyebrows couldn’t help but raise slightly.

The Jiang Family, one of the Five Great Families of the Shang Heng District.

Due to the failure and subsequent death of their ancestor who had reached the Organ Refinement Perfection Realm.

And the continuous decline over the past decades.

Thus, the Jiang Family, once one of the great powers of the Shang Heng District, gradually became the weakest among them.

Moreover, in recent years, the Jiang Family had even become a fat sheep in the eyes of other families, ripe for the taking.

Such a family generally wouldn’t catch Luo Changfeng’s attention. Sёarch* The NôvelFire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

But unfortunately, that little rascal Luo Yao recently managed to utterly bewitch the daughter of the Jiang Family Head.

It seemed she wouldn’t marry anyone but Luo Yao.

Therefore, Luo Changfeng also gradually started paying attention to the Jiang Family of the Shang Heng District.

If possible…

Then he would lend a hand to the Jiang Family!

After all, it was a simple matter for him to handle.

“In recent times, how many talented children have passed the test?”

After a moment of silence, Luo Changfeng asked again.

Without hesitation, Ruan Liuli immediately replied, “There are only eighteen who qualify…”

“Eighteen?”

After Luo Changfeng silently nodded, he inquired in a low voice, “All of them are voluntary, right?”

Ruan Liuli didn’t answer; she merely nodded her head.

It had been said before.

Luo Changfeng was never a bad person, but he wasn’t entirely good either.

He had his own principles.

He genuinely wanted to cultivate his own mysterious organization.

He really wanted to develop a force that could become an extension of his arm.

But this didn’t mean he would kidnap people indiscriminately.

The Da Feng Dynasty was plagued by droughts and locust disasters.

Countless powers were constantly in conflict.

Under such circumstances, if he wanted people, people with certain talents, he could easily find them in abundance just by walking outside.

So, there was no need for him to forcibly abduct anyone.

…

In the blink of an eye, another three days passed.

At the border area between Huai Shui County and Yellow Mountain County.

At this time, two large armies were stationed in the region.

One was from the Huai Shui County Luo Family.

Their number was around fifty thousand.

The Luo Family’s forces, although small in number, were all armored and had undergone countless training sessions, with extremely high combat and willpower.

On the other hand, at the White Lotus Stockade of Yellow Mountain County.

Their numbers were close to five hundred thousand.

But, their ratio of armored soldiers was less than one-fifth.

That is to say, less than one hundred thousand men.

The rest of the bandits, if they could wield a steel blade, would be considered quite decent.

Even among those less than one hundred thousand Armored Bandit Soldiers.

The truly elite bandits of the White Lotus Stockade were only those in the very center of the camp, clad in shining silver armor, wielding longbows, and fiercely protected by countless ordinary bandits.

These bandits were the best archers.

They could almost always hit a target with two or three shots.

They could also fight in close combat.

It’s just that their combat effectiveness was somewhat less than when fighting at long range.

…

“Eh, what do you think,”

“these little bastards from the White Lotus Stockade are up to?”

“They aren’t attacking, just holding their position?”

Inside the main command tent of the Luo Family Army,

Luo Yong, the chief commander of the Luo Family Army, was slightly frowning at this moment.

As he wiped the treasured sword in his hand, he quietly asked Tang Jian, the big bluffer at his side.

Ever since those bandits from the White Lotus Stockade stepped into the domain of Huai Shui County.

Now, three days had already passed.

Yet aside from the initial bout with the Luo Family,

It seemed these bandits had no further action thereafter.

It was as if they were trying to compare foundational depth with the Luo Family.

But the problem was, with the Cooling Charm, Rain Seeking Talisman, and Locust Removal Talisman,

The base strength of the Luo Family was only going to get stronger and deeper.

How could they be outmatched by a mere White Lotus Stockade from Yellow Mountain County?

“It seems like they’re waiting for something…”

With his eyes slightly narrowed, Tang Jian waved his Feather Fan as he spoke in a low voice.

“Waiting?”

Upon hearing this, Luo Yong couldn’t help but feel puzzled, “So, what exactly is the White Lotus Stockade waiting for?”

Tang Jian spoke calmly, “I’m not quite sure…”

Luo Yong’s face twitched slightly.

If you don’t know, then why are you even saying anything?

“Never mind, let’s forget about it.”

“If the White Lotus Stockade doesn’t want to make a move, then we will.”

“I want to see if with those approximately thirty thousand archers, the White Lotus Stockade can withstand our assault…”

…

Following Luo Yong’s orders,

The fifty thousand armored elites from the Luo Family gradually advanced forward.

And not far from the Luo Family Army, within a military camp that stretched as far as the eye could see,

Stood the second-in-command of the White Lotus Stockade, a man with fiery red short hair, about two and a half meters tall, and a build as sturdy as a monster.

He was standing silently outside his own tent right now.

The reason why the White Lotus Stockade could become one of the top three bandit forces in Yellow Mountain County was not without cause.

Aside from the White Lotus Stockade’s extremely proficient elite archers,

The White Lotus also held another trump card in its ranks,

Which was a batch of massive crossbow cars purchased through the mysterious channels of their great leader.

These crossbow cars, although large and cumbersome to transport,

Were virtually invincible on the battlefield.

At the start, it was okay for them to be slightly defensive,

Being at a slight disadvantage was fine too,
